This entry details a planned debut album by Anna Garcia, renamed Anna Fantastic by Prince recorded between 1989 and 1990.

Nothing much is known about the album. Anna Garcia was romantically involved with Prince at that time and inspired many songs (Pink Cashmere, Anna Waiting and Lemon Crush). Anna Garcia had previously released a single under the name ‘Sheree’ called “Ronnie - Talk To Russia!” which had nothing to do with Prince’s song with the same title and he wanted to make a full album with her. She recruited her friends Tamara Chloe and Eliza Esther to help her on this project which turned into a girl group named ‘Fantasia Erotica featuring Anna Fantastic’ album at that point. Fantasia Erotica, written by Garcia (lyrics) and Prince (music) is the only known song recorded for the album. Other tracks were most likely recorded as Anna Fantastic announced in 2018 that she would release songs that Prince and she wrote together on her forthcoming album "Erotica" (planned to be released in Summer 1998).

Prince was working on many projects between 1989 and 1990 (the Batman soundtrack, the Graffiti Bridge movie and its soundtrack, The Time’s Corporate World, albums for Flash, Jill Jones and the Nude Tour among others). Work on Anna Fantastic’s album got constantly postponed and the project never got off the ground, so she went back to London, England where she was offered a record deal. She wanted to work with other songwriters while Prince wanted to write and produce entirely her album. This disagreement led to the end of their collaboration.

Fantasia Erotica was pulled from the vault in 1991 when Prince started to work with Carmen Electra. Her version was released on her eponymous album in 1993 credited to Prince (music) and Carmen Electra (lyrics). In 2014, Anna Fantastic posted a video on her Facebook page of a rehearsal for a performance video of the song, dated 14 February 1989, and in 2018 a more complete version on YouTube announcing the release of her album. This page will be updated when (or if) Anna Garcia releases her album "Erotica" in 2018 or later.
